Mobius nods along. The skill had been useful in helping break himself and Astarion out of a horrifying illusion. Maybe if he manages it here, they'll land on their asses back where they should be.
On the other hand, the magic might flow right back in and sweep them back into the illusion all over again. Hard to say.
There is a moment when Strange asks if he can do it at all that Mobius hesitates. Not because he's not comfortable doing it, but because Strange has either heard the persistent (true) rumor about him or because he took the explanation of what can be done as an admittance that he can do it. Which is also true. But there's no condemnation in Strange's voice, no hesitation on his part. Is it compartmentalization, the idea that he sees it, acknowledges it, sets aside any potential emotions because it's useful? Or is it that Strange is new enough and distanced from it enough not to have any strong opinions on the matter?
Every mage has a strong fucking opinion on the matter, even the ones without context. Because someone that can shut down magic is automatically a danger to them. Hm.
Question it later.
"I'll try and keep from getting you caught up in it." Like shaking off the dust from an old blanket. He takes a breath, relaxes his shoulders. Queues up a few potent stanzas from the Chant, in case.
"For the record, I hope this isn't a magical bullshit illusion and that we're really where it seems like we are."

For all their sakes.
